I don't mind if they turn out to be a bickering couple or not, considering Jonathan & Victoria are one of my all-time favourites and Flo & Zach are my #1 all-time team , but I do think they will be an interesting couple to watch!

Because they seem like real, genuine people. They aren't mactors or in the public eye.

Kris & Jon were "meh" for me, but from what I gather here on RFF, they're one of the most popular teams ever. To each his own!

I LOVED Kris & Jon, since they argued very little and were a strong team. Don't get me wrong I love Dave and the army <3 but Rachel doesn't really do anything to me, seems like a BG character, like some teams have 1 OTT person and an UTR partner. They might grow on me, but I'm skeptical on them for now.

I think that's exactly how I felt about Jeremy & Sandy last season, and they ended up being my favorite team.

Unable to do the RB>>take the penalty given>> still make it to the MAT ahead of other teams...perfectly fair, and yes, VERY lucky for them that they had that cushion of being on the first flight AND also have other teams struggle more than they did.

RFF's Golden Rule:Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.

There's no way they would've known this, but if they didn't use the Express Pass and stuck with their Detour, then had to deal with a 2-hour penalty at the Roadblock, there's a chance they may have been eliminated. (I say "may" because I don't know how long they would have take with the harp or what time Vanessa & Ralph and Elliot & Andrew checked in to the Pit Stop.) So although it sucks to have to use the Express Pass so early, it might have turned out to be what kept them in the race.

I'm getting vibes from Dave that nothing less than 1st is acceptable. As soon as Art/JJ finished the watermelon detour, that Express Pass was burning a hole in his pocket. Rachel talked him into trying the harp task first but he wouldn't even entertain it once he saw other teams there. If they had completed the harp task then they could have used the Express Pass to skip the bottle dancing when they only had 1 bottle left and not incurred a 2 hr penalty. At this point in the race, middle of the pack should have been acceptable to them.
